`get_flights`

Pack: opensky · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/opensky/mcp

Historical flight legs (departure and arrival airports) for a past time window. NOT AVAILABLE from a hosted environment: OpenSky is the only source of this data and it cannot be reached from cloud infrastructure, while the keyless ADS-B mirrors that replace it carry live positions only. Returns an explicit not-available result naming what does work instead — live aircraft via get_states, a callsign’s scheduled route via get_flight_route, and live airport activity via get_arrivals / get_departures in the flights pack.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`begin`	number	yes	Start of the interval, Unix seconds.
`end`	number	yes	End of the interval, Unix seconds.
